I want to get a newer car, matrix vs vibe gt - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I want to get a newer car but I only have around 7k. I was thinking of a matrix xrs but I think they cost a bit more than I have to play with. What are your feelings on a pontiac vibe gt? Maybe I can put Voltz emblems on it and make it look jdm. Have any other recomendations as far as cars go? I want a 6sp.
thanks-krissy

the only real difference between the vibe gt and a trix xrs is the outside appearance. also, because it is a pontiac, it won't hold its resale value like it would if it said toyota. you might have a chance at a vibe gt, but to find a decent one for 7k is going to be hard. good luck to you though, and be prepared to travel out of state to get one at the right price.

The Vibe has held historical and consistent equal resale value with the Matrix.

$800 difference is statistically insignificant.
